Big jack rabbit= big mess.

Welcome to Grand Junction! I'm surprised you only hit one.
:)
 
One of our Lears did this kind of work in it's previous life. Fast forward to present day and it no longer flies straight below 230kts.
Obviously this is a file photo, but it looks like it would of been fun. @esa17

Tow missions aren't why it doesn't track straight. :)

Tow missions are actually just hot and tedious.
 
Had to pause before pushing the throttle before this takeoff this past weekend....Our private grass strip, I've only ever departed to the North. Taking off to the south includes the following numbers: 1,400 ft grass strip with an uphill grade of about 10 degrees the first 600 feet. cell phone tower 200 feet West of the strip, & power lines up to about 85 feet 1,200 feet south of the strip...all doable with the winds that day (190 @ 14) but still required an extra moment to steady the nerves.

Mind me asking what state that is? What hoops (if any) did you have to jump trough to have your own strip?
 
Making noise in my latest CAF checkout this morning on dawn patrol over Dallas.

I get to fly this one anytime I want for a low, low hourly rate so anyone in Dallas that wants to go make some noise should seriously let me know because I could always use another reason to go fly.
 
The only time the man would care is if you were trying to get it published as a runway or get money for it. You can fly off of your own land all day long whether you have a 'runway' there or not.
Even then, there's not much to getting the little R put on the sectional.
